@Dela Hi. Pencil2D is actually a portable application. It’s not required to be installed in the sense that you will not get an installation wizard.
All the necessary Pencil2D ingredients to be run normally are found inside the ZIP you download from the official website.
Once you extract all and every file into a new folder (under windows) you only need to run the app by double clicking on the pencil2d.exe application (it’s the only one with a diminute pencil icon)
If you find any warning messages and you’re under Windows 10 please take a look at this guide first. It should guide you through all the necessary steps to successfully run the program under that specific OS.
If you’re using a computer with macOSX or a Linux flavored OS, you only need a specific executable. For mac you need to drag the contents into the “install” folder. For Linux you can run the portable executable.
Also, please don’t say you’re stupid. If you’re having trouble with running the software after trying out the guide it means we still have much to improve in terms of accessibility. Let us know how it goes and should anything fail, we’ll try a different approach to show you how to get the software up and running.
